Candydrip was released earlier this year and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and #10 on the Billboard Current R&B Albums Chart. Upon release the album received critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, Complex, Rolling Stone, Billboard and many more.

The album explores Daye’s redefinition of modern R&B through an alluring sensory-driven world, shaped by the inspiration of Afrofuturism. The 17-track body of work is the taste of a new era, one that celebrates his rise to stardom, while still bringing listeners on a ride they’ve never experienced before. Candydrip continues the sensory experience that he first introduced with Painted, only this time, it’s taste over sight. Also along for the journey are collaborators and friends – rapper Smino, modern Chicago-drill zeitgeist Lil Durk, and synth-soul group Chiiild.

Daye most recently wrapped on the European leg of his Candydrip tour, which hit North American cities this past spring. In addition to his success with Candydrip, Daye has worked on numerous successful collaborations with other artists, including features on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Star,” Snakehips’ “Solitude” with BIA, Yung Bleu’s “Your Love is Dangerous,” Ari Lennox’s “Boy Bye,” SG Lewis’ “Vibe Like This” with Ty Dolla $ign, Mark Ronson’s “Too Much,” Ella Mai’s “A Mess,” and Syd’s “CYBAH.” Daye also collaborated on Beyoncé’s “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” off her latest album RENAISSANCE.
